Dear Mr. Wolf,

Thank you for your email and for your interest in the Kasada Festival. Greetings from the front desk of the Wyndham Casablanca Jakarta.

The festival is called Yadnya Kasada. It takes place at Mount Bromo in East Java. Mount Bromo is an active volcano and a famous tourist destination. The Tenggerese people celebrate this festival every year. It is an important religious event for the local Hindu community.

During the festival, people bring offerings such as rice, fruit, vegetables, flowers, and sometimes animals like chickens or goats. In the evening and early morning, they walk to the crater of the volcano. They throw the offerings into the crater. They do this to thank God and to pray for safety, good health, and a good harvest.

The date of the festival changes every year because it follows the traditional Tengger calendar. It usually takes place in May, June, or July.

From Jakarta, you can travel by plane or train to Surabaya or Malang, and then continue by car to Mount Bromo. Many guests choose to join a tour package.

Please let us know if you need assistance with transportation or tour arrangements. We are happy to help you.

Kind regards,
Indra
Front Desk
Wyndham Casablanca Jakarta
